Who was surveyed

National total compensation, not this state's average. Do not blend these surveys with state wages or call the figures a salary range.
Why the sources differ
Do not average these surveys together. Doximity and Medscape survey physicians; AMGA surveys organizations. Specialty definitions, work patterns, pay components and samples differ. Use each as a separate reference for the written offer.
The national survey measures compensation; the BLS state estimate measures employee wages. Different populations and pay definitions mean these are context, not directly comparable endpoints of a salary range. The national figure is not a state average.
Licensing and first-shift checks in Indiana
Indiana separates full physician or osteopathic licensure from postgraduate training and other permits. Its instructions say FCVS is optional, while license verification must come directly from every state or Canadian province where the applicant holds or has held a health-related license. Program changes may require a new postgraduate training permit. Match the application to the actual job and training history, identify who must send each record, and verify the issued credential and site privileges before a first shift.
Build your internal medicine offer checklist
Use the actual job description to check the work that sits behind the pay number. These are questions for the hiring team, not claims about available Saile jobs.
- Separate clinic sessions from inpatient coverage, admitting, nights and cross-coverage. Ask which patient populations and procedures are part of this role.
- Get the inbox, results, refills and after-hours owner in writing. Compare appointment time and administrative time alongside the pay unit.
- For a second job, check how the schedule fits the primary employer agreement, and confirm malpractice coverage for this exact setting.
